Workshop: Making more music!
with Mirjam von Jarzebowski and Dorothée Hahne

For culture managers, concert organizers, lecturers at music schools, musicians, conductors of musical ensembles and all interested parties.

Children and young people in concert – a rarity? In the last few years, the German orchestral landscape has struggled with the young generation – with success.How orchestras win the young audience for their music is very different.

Dorothée Hahne then presents her composition workshop:Musical instruments, voices, sounds from everyday life and electronic circuits are characteristic of the compositions of Dorothée Hahne.The computer as a musical instrument becomes a tool for her to make the most of the everyday sounds and to create remarkable sounds.For her vocal and instrumental works, she’s programing self-developed interactive software with which the performers on the stage multiply live acoustically, come into dialogue with themselves and the auditorium in the room is surrounded with moving and rotating sounds.In the composition workshop, she will present some of her works live and give insights into her themes of history and present, natural sciences and spirituality that inspire her.
